After the winter of the 75th year of Emperor Yitian, the situation around Juquanling was already known as Ding Shuang, Zhou Jingyuan, Wu Meng and others, who were both amazed and crying.

The situation that Chen Hai said about the wolves was formed, but at this time, there were eight Taoist temples such as Shichengling and Mojia Workshop around Juquanling, representing nine major forces such as Dong family in Hexi and Yanjing. At this time, there were nearly twenty foundry factories independent of Juquanling, which were other small and medium-sized sects, and the sect forces were stuck in Juquanling.

Even in the casting site of Juquanling, there were more than twelve masters above Mingqiao Realm, and only Su Yuan belonged to Zhaoyang Ting Hou Mansion. Outside Juquan Ling, there were as many as forty or fifty Mingqiao Realm powerhouses gathered, representing dozens of overlords who extended their tentacles into Juquan Ling.

The situation was formed around the wolves. Their fat sheep survived for the time being, but it would be even more difficult for the fat sheep to decide their own destiny from then on.

The first snowfall of this year has just fallen in Juquanling. The snow is not heavy and there is only a little white accumulation among the mountains.

Although Juquanling and Juquan Lake were beautiful at this time, I rushed to Zhongfeng Bamboo Forest to see Zhou Jingyuan, but I didn’t have any good mood to enjoy the scenery.

The bamboo forest is located at the foot of Zhongfeng Cliff. A waterfall falls down from a 100-meter-high shore, forming a pool stream, bypassing Zhongfeng and converging towards the big stream on the eastern foot.

In addition to the opening of several secret rooms in the cliff cave for submission and refining weapons, Chen Hai's residence in Juquanling is several bamboo houses in front of the bamboo forest.

At this time, Chen Hai was discussing swordsmanship with Sun Buhui by the stream pool. Su Ling squatted on the stone shore, watching a small silverfish specialized in Juquanling swimming in the clear stream.

Seeing Sun Buhui here, Zhou Jingyuan's resentment was not revealed for the time being.

Seeing that Zhou Jingyuan had something to say and couldn't say, it was really uncomfortable. Chen Hai smiled and said, "Senior Brother Sun is not an outsider, what can I say?"

After looking at Sun Buhui, Zhou Jingyuan thought that they had some resentment here, so it would be okay to let Hexi know, so he said, "Today, the representatives of the eight Taoist courts came together to lower the price of the gold quenching iron material supplied in the next period by 30%. They are really bullying. In this way, the benefits we can get from the gold quenching iron material will be minimal, and this price is even one-tenth of the smelting metal material of the various families..."

The situation of wolves surrounding them has been formed. No one wants to see other families take over the fat sheep, but it doesn’t mean that the wolves will not join forces to cut the wool on the fat sheep?

Juquanling was still controlling the output of gold quenching iron on the surface at this time, but the price of gold quenching iron was controlled by other forces. It was no longer a matter of Juquanling's family.

Even the Shichengling Daoyuan, which represents Hexi, has joined forces with the other seven Taoist temples to restrict Juquanling from raising the price of gold quenching iron.

No one is stupid. Even though he can estimate how low the cost of the gold quenching iron produced in Juquanling is, how could he continue to buy it at a high price of ten times the price?

Although two large refining furnaces are about to be put into use, the daily output of gold quenching iron in Juquanling will increase to 40,000 kilograms, Zhou Jingyuan calculated carefully and found that the benefits they could really gain from them were even far inferior to those at the beginning of the year. Why didn’t he complain?

According to his thoughts, it was better to agree to the conditions of the Black Yan army, and to attract 30,000 elite Black Yan army troops to re-enter Qintong Mountain and control the area north of Zuojin Valley, so as to save the bird's energy today.

"Also, there are several masters in the foundry. These days, they are ready to set up a craftsman club so that the refining of weapons and puppets can bring out the old and the new - they seem to be kind, but the thoughts hidden behind them are really impossible to tell others." Zhou Jing said angrily.

Sun Buhui looked embarrassed. He was also one of the master craftsmen of Juquanling casting at this time and knew about the craftsmen.

The craftsman association was established within Juquanling, saying that it would not interfere with the senior management of Juquanling. However, after the actual establishment, the middle and senior craftsmen within Juquanling formed a force, not to mention that they would interfere with management, replacing the capital was very likely a natural thing.

After all, this is because the power of the Zhaoyangting Marquis Mansion itself is too weak, but it occupies a great treasure that can change the world's pattern. How could it be that it is safe?

Since the Hexi side has not had the ambition to monopolize Juquanling, it is afraid of being angry with the public. In order to reduce the price of gold quenching iron and the preparation of the craftsman association, it still follows other opinions from other companies.

Although Sun Buhui had a good personal relationship with Chen Hai and the others, he could only follow the orders of the sect and the Hexi Protectorate in such matters. He believed that Chen Hai would not easily make concessions in the craftsman's meeting. After all, it involved the future dominance of Juquanling, but he should make some concessions on other matters to fill the appetites of the various families.

Chen Hai stood with his hands and looked into the distance. At the mountain pass less than twenty miles away from Juquanling, the city called Liquan was already built in a somewhat prototype.

The construction of the city of Liquan has nothing to do with Juquanling and Tongbei Prefecture. It is jointly promoted by eight Taoist temples such as Shichengling, and will also be jointly managed by the eight Taoist temples after completion.

When the city of Liquan is completed and the wide road connecting Liquan with the outside world is opened up, the status of Juquanling will be further weakened by then.

Now some people are going to build a craftsmanship in Juquanling and have the intention to undermine their side. It is no wonder that Zhou Jingyuan is furious.

Although the situation evolved and developed much faster than Chen Hai expected, he didn't feel that it was too surprised or angry.

At this time, Juquanling started with the huge supply of gold and iron materials, and actually formed an extremely large-scale military armor and combat equipment casting distribution center. Thousands of exquisite military armor were cast out every month and sent to various places.

The craftsmen of various sects and clans gathered at Juquanling, which enabled Yanzhou to have a communication platform outside the academy for the first time in thousands of years to exchange military, armor, combat equipment and magic weapons castings, which made the manufacturing technology of medium and low-level mechanisms and combat equipment flourishing.

Chen Hai's personal energy is always limited, and it is impossible to take into account all aspects. He also needs to work together more often, but the staff of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion is still very limited. At first, there was not even a great craftsman in the Mingqiao Realm.

The primary organ beasts supplied to Mojiasi by Juquanling were improved a lot at this time, which was precisely driven by the full communication of many craftsmen.

During this process, Chen Hai himself was also very helpful in his research on the puppet technique. However, others thought that he had obtained ancient heritage and did not think that this would be of great help to him.

If he simply considers finding a way between various forces to dominate and control the local area and form the current situation in Juquanling, he will undoubtedly not be considered a success, but also a failure.

Unless you don’t want to develop the big treasure of Lake Mud and Sand Mine, it will be considered quite successful to form today’s balanced situation. The power of Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion is still too weak and you cannot monopolize the big treasure of Juquan Lake.

All the forces of the sects eat meat and don’t spit bones. No one will tolerate a small force who monopolizes Juquanling under the side bed.

However, it was too hasty for each company to set up an organization like the Craftsman Association to seize the dominance of Juquanling.

Chen Hai looked at Sun Buhui and couldn't help but weigh Hexi's attitude. Although Hexi first established a Taoist temple in Shichengling, it did not gain more benefits in Juquanling. What would Hexi think, what would the prince Cai Chou think? Or maybe, even if the craftsman association was established, the Dong family should stand up and take the lead so that they could gain more benefits and balance it in their hearts?

Although things were developing roughly according to Chen Hai's original idea, the more so he found that the more complicated the interests were, and he entangled him and it was difficult to break free.

“…”

At this time, a long rainbow came from the direction of Shichengling. Chen Hai, Sun Buhui, and Zhou Jingyuan looked at each other. After a while, he saw Pei Jinhua, the law enforcement elder of Shichengling Taoist Court, wearing purple and green clothes, flying in a graceful sword.

Pei Jinhua was once the head of the Taiwei Sect Shangqi Peak. He entered Yanjing with the delegation three years ago, and then stayed in Yanjing. In fact, he stayed in Dong Ning as a Taoist protector. Dong Ning returned to Hexi sadly, and Pei Jinhua went to Shichengling Taoist Court to serve as a law enforcement elder.

Chen Hai didn't know what Pei Jinhua suddenly ran to Juquanling for doing, so he stepped forward and bowed: "How did Elder Pei run to Juquanling for a visit today?"

Pei Jin is still full of charm when he is middle-aged. Chen Hai greets her with a smile. Her beautiful face is tense there. Standing on the bright and bright spiritual sword, she did not say that she would come down to take a breath, and said directly: "Hexi wants to marry the Western Qiang Kingdom, I will come and tell you."

"Dong Ning wants to marry Jinzhou?" Chen Hai asked in dismay.

Pei Jinhua didn't want to explain anything more. He looked at Sun Buhui, Zhou Jingyuan, and Su Ling at a glance, and then used the sword technique to fly to the Shichengling Taoist Courtyard.

Pei Jinhua suddenly came to report the news. Sun Buhui was a little confused. He thought that Chen Hai refused Princess Yuecheng's marriage in public, which was known to everyone. It is also said that Dong Shou, the Hou of Qin Mu, was so embarrassed that he wanted to kill Chen Hai to vent his anger. Fortunately, Chen Hai saw the opportunity and fled to Wen Boyuan's mansion earlier to avoid it before escaping. This matter was almost a year later, and everyone almost forgot about it. What was Pei Jinhua doing when he suddenly ran over?

Zhou Jingyuan knew that after refusing to marry, Dong Ning sent someone to inform Chen Hai to run away overnight. It can be seen that Dong Ning was very affectionate with Chen Hai, but Zhou Jingyuan didn't know what Chen Hai thought about Dong Ning, but thought that since Chen Hai had rejected Dong Ning's engagement, Dong's family wanted to marry Dong Ning to the Western Qiang Kingdom in exchange for peace in the Western border. Even if Chen Hai felt uncomfortable, this was a fact that no one could change.
